Generating Java classes using JAXB and xjc maven plugin

I am new to XJC Maven plugin. I am trying to generate a Java class from XSD. I have placed the XSD file in the location src/main/resources/static/xsd (Say my filename is example.xsd). I have also created a package src/main/java/com/example/message where I expect the sources of my generated Java classes. My pom file looks like below:

If you do not specify destination folder your generated classes will be placed in /target/generated-sources/jaxb.
I would not place those classes in any folder or package under src/main/java: I think that generated files should be dropped and recreated every time you launch the build using Maven. In this way you are sure to have always the correctly generated file.
If you use IntelliJ you should be able to use classes, if you are an Eclipse user then you must add them to source folders (right click on folder -> Build Path -> Use as Source Folder).
You do not need to specify anything to include those classes when producing jar/war files, Maven will automatically include them.

I have written it because i didn't see anything like it about #Autowired DI.

No import to #Autowired, why?

#Autowired is part of spring-beans-XXX.jar. spring-boot-starter will have spring-beans as trasnsitive dependancy. So spring-beans*.jar must be in your classpath. This seems to be some issue of IDE.
Try restarting your IDE. If you are using Intellij, choose following option- File->Invalidate Cache/Restart.
Try to build the project first, so that all jars are downloaded and available in classpath.
Try to manually add spring-beans*.jar in classpath, if none of above works.

I am not aware about Spring Boot but have you tried below one for import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-beans -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>

Application startup failed - Failed to process import candidates for configuration class

I'm receiving this error in the stack trace when I try to run:
java -jar spring-boot-starter-web.jar
From my command line on my build for my jar of my Spring Boot application. I'm not sure what is causing this error. I let IntelliJ do the build of the project.
[main] ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application
startup failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed
to process import candidates for configuration class
[app.ContactRunner]; nested exception is
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No auto configuration classes
found in META-INF/spring.factories. If you are using a custom
packaging, make sure that file is correct.
For reference, the ContactRunner class is just:
#SpringBootApplication
public class ContactRunner {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(ContactRunner.class, args);
}
}
The spring-boot-starter-parent is in the pom.xml as well as the one for the spring-boot-maven-plugin as other people with similar questions have resolved their issue with it. I can't figure out what's happening. Here is my full pom.xml

I also tried to build the project with mvn clean package but it fails because of duplicate dependencies that I can't seem to remove, as you may see my issues in this questions, so this was trying another route.
Any ideas? The application runs fine in IntelliJ, but won't with a jar.

I think you should use spring-boot-starter-parent in parent tag. And should remove whole dependencyManagement block.

Add external library .jar to Spring boot .jar /lib without mvn install

I've been reading around on this site and others, trying to figure out how add these external jars without doing mvn install, and haven't had any success. I was reading somewhere that maven-shade could address my problem, but I could never get that to work? I know spring boot doesn't like system scope but it seems to error out if I choose something else?

You can create a new directory "lib" on your project, put your jars in this directory and then add them to your classpath.
If your IDE is IntelliJ you can follow this link:
Correct way to add external jars (lib/*.jar) to an IntelliJ IDEA project
If you use another IDE you have to find on google how to add jar on your project classpath.

spring-boot without parent pom.xml cannot generate war packaging

I used the example gs-convert-jar-to-war provided by spring-io. It describes how to generate war packaging within a spring boot project.
The spring-boot documentation allows for using own parent poms, thus omitting the predefined parent pom for all spring-boot projects. The following dependency has to be added:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<!-- Import dependency management from Spring Boot -->
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1.RELEASE</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
I applied this change (and only this change) to the example. Afterwards it is no longer possible to generate the war. I get following error message:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.1.1:war (default-war) on project gs-convert-jar-to-war: Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode) -> [Help 1]
Here is the complete listing of the modified pom.xml:

Is there any idea to overcome the problem?
In my project I will use my own parent pom, because it defines a lot of stuff regarding the company.

You removed the parent, so you lost its declaration of the WAR plugin configuration. Here it is:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
</configuration>
</plugin>
See here for the source code.
N.B. this is not necessary with Spring Boot 2.0 parent pom and above (the war plugin version is different), or if you use the latest war plugin.
